The Lexus NX slots in between the smaller UX crossover model and the larger RX SUV and is offered in five derivatives at the time of writing this article. The latest iteration made its way to the South African market in 2022 and not only sees revisions in the styling department but also additional powertrain configurations added.
While the entry point, the NX 250 EX, offers customers 152 kW and 243 Nm from a 2.5-litre, 4-cylinder petrol engine, the NX 350h in EX, SE and F Sport guise provides 179 kW and 239 Nm of torque from a 2.5-litre, 4-cylinder petrol motor bolstered with a hybrid system. If more power is what you want, then the flagship Lexus NX 350 AWD F Sport is what you are looking for as it delivers 205 kW and 430 Nm from a 2.4-litre, turbocharged, 4-cylinder petrol engine.
